The new season of FINDING BIGFOOT premieres Sunday, January 3, from 9-11 PM (ET/PT), as Animal Planet’s curious cryptozoological team sets foot in new locations with modern technologies to progress the search.

After Hours concludes it’s interview with acclaimed cryptozoologist author, Loren Coleman. What is the fundamental problem with the Bigfoot world? Is it the media? Sensationalism? Backbiting? Using unknowns to explain the unknown? Is all of this attention on Bigfoot creating a “they vs us” problem? Loren Coleman addresses all of those questions. Dr. Ketchum’s DNA work, Dr. Johnson’s portals, Newsweek, and the History Channel’s recent “Bigfoot Captured” are also discussed. “Look at the data…” This cryptozoologist author tells it like it is!

Acclaimed Bigfoot/cryptozoology author, Loren Coleman has been in the Bigfoot world for over 50 years. He joins us on After Hours this week (in part 1 of his interview) covering his history with Bigfoot, his world famous International Cryptozoology Museum, and his thoughts on the Roger Patterson film. Is it real? A hoax? or a misidentification? He tells you what to look for when you examine the infamous Bigfoot Patterson Gimlin film. Is he pro kill of Sasquatch?

August, 1976: Three teens driving on an isolated stretch of road somewhere in the Adirondacks of Upstate New York have a brush with a bizarre creature. Standing over 7 feet tall and covered in hair, they referred to it as a beast. Hours later, Abair Road was crawling with local and state police. Many of them recounted seeing the creature, as well.
